Hi...
I saw this over priced Color Classic for sale on ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultimate-1993-Apple-Macintosh-Mac-Color-Classic-Takky-MOD-10-4-LCD-WiFi/292829226843?hash=item442dfb675b:g:9oIAAOSwuQhb9yKO:rk:2f:0
The clever seller had installed a 10.4 inch Matsushita LCD screen. I found the screen for sale for under $100:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/LTD104EA5R-Original-10-4-inch-LCD-screen-display-panel-1024-768-XGA/1741318949.html
It will do 1024 X 768. After I started looking around, I found many more 10.4 inch screens of various costs.
I do love the crisp, clear Sony CRT in my Color Classic. I have a LC 575 logic board in my CC, and made the mod to do 640 X 480.
I now have enough parts to make a second CC. I was thinking about a mod that would use a LCD screen. The ebay seller claims that the screen will give you a 38% larger viewing area (see the pictures on his ebay listing). I would like a mod that would let me run up to 9.22.
Has anyone here used a LCD screen like this in a Color Classic? What did you use for a motherboard?
